Fly Agaric

Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria)

A couple of days later , and although the universal veil is still intact, this Fly Agaric has noticeably swelled in size, and if you look closelyyou can see the classic colour of this toadstool starting to show through. If you look even closer, towards the base, you'll see a Sminthurinus niger globular springtail, and also a couple of eggs from one of the flies that feed on this species.
